magically disappearing ink

ok, so it didn't disappear magically, but by some hard scrubbing by my delightful p... some simple lysol did it for inside the dryer (thank goodness as a new dryer wasn't in the budget) and remarkably enough *hair spray* worked on some of the fabrics... even more remarkable was that it was p's idea. like a little macgyver he said, 'where's the hairspray?' i was skeptical and asked what he needed it for... he said, 'well, it was my pen and i wanted to help... so i googled it.' what a darling :)

and it worked!

p and i went to three different grocery stores (in typical american gluttony, they're all next to each other, so we did think in advance about cost savings vs gas burning). we made a list, i looked through the flyers, and get this... what typically costs us about $130 cost (drum roll please) $58.71. Holy crap people! I'm now a believer in thinking ahead.

is anyone else secretly glad it's going to rain this week? i was getting nervous for my floppy and thirsty pansies. happy sunday y'all!
